JWA Josef Weichenberger Architects

Vien­na-based Josef Weichen­berg­er Archi­tects was found­ed by Josef Weichen­berg­er in 2002, after he had worked as a project part­ner with Coop Himmelb(l)au in Vien­na and Lyon from 1989 to 2002. He also teached at the Uni­ver­si­ty of Applied Arts and the Tech­ni­cal Uni­ver­si­ty in Vienna.
The office relies on an inter­na­tion­al team of 15 archi­tects. A strong focus of JWA’s work is on inno­v­a­tive hous­ing and urban design projects, as well as con­ver­sion projects with an empha­sis on enhance­ment and intel­li­gent rebuild­ing of exist­ing struc­tures. Promi­nent recent work includes the con­ver­sion of Franz Josefs Bahn­hof in Vien­na and Karl Schwanzer’s icon­ic Philips Haus.
